My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

"boom"

Upon hearing this, the once quiet valley erupted into chaos, with countless cultivators protesting the Xiao family's appalling behavior.

"Hehe, it seems you young friends have a lot of objections. In that case, you may all return the way you came."

The cultivator at the head of the table remained expressionless upon seeing this and raised his hand to dismiss the guest.

The Qi Refining cultivators below hesitated for a moment, then fell silent and obediently began to line up.

"Very well, since no one has any objections, let's prepare to go in."

The gray-robed retainer from the Xiao family glanced at the incense and candles that were already half-burned, and said with a slight smile.

So when the incense candle finally burned out, the cultivators, lined up in several columns, began to walk into the central magic array one after another. Then, under a huge suction force, several figures were forcibly pulled into the spatial rift, and then disappeared in a flash of light.

Cui Ying and Lei Yi were in the sixth wave of teleportation. After a dizzying moment, she suddenly appeared kneeling in a patch of waist-high weeds.

She stood up and looked around, and immediately saw the people who had come in earlier, all of them standing in groups nearby.

At a height of several dozen feet in the air, there was also a huge spatial rift, from which figures were constantly falling.

Higher in the sky, another sun hung high. Not far from their location, there was a vast, dense forest, and on the other side, an endless grassland. They seemed to be right at the border between the two areas.

As Cui Ying's mind raced, she also took a step and walked towards Lei Yi.

After a short while, no one fell out of the spatial rift overhead.

Just then, from the other end of the spatial rift came the extremely cold voice of the gray-robed elder:

"Remember this, this teleportation array will open once every ten days. If you wish to come out, simply come here and wait on time."

After the gray-robed elder stopped speaking, the spatial rift became silent once again.

At this moment, led by someone, all the cultivators around suddenly scattered. Some rushed out into the nearby dense forest, while others directly built clouds to explore the depths of the grassland.

However, all the cultivators who used the levitation technique only flew about ten feet off the ground and dared not fly too high.

It seems no one is stupid; everyone knows that in such an unknown and dangerous place, flying too high is just courting death.

Seeing this, Lei Yi and Cui Ying exchanged a glance and then flew towards the dense forest.

After flying for about half an hour, they finally entered the dense forest. The further they flew, the more ancient trees intertwined and the more the path beneath their feet was shrouded in mist. They were also attacked by monsters from time to time.

Fortunately, both of them were top performers in their respective realms, so they didn't have to spend much time getting out of the dense forest.

After rounding two more small hills, a small waterfall comes into view, its turquoise water cascading down and crashing against the rock face, creating white spray.

Upon closer inspection, Cui Ying discovered that on the grayish-brown stone wall, there were emerald green vines shaped like giant pythons climbing up and down, with several spiritual fruits the size of an infant's fist hanging from them.

"It's a Jade Serpent Fruit!"

As soon as Cui Ying finished speaking, Lei Yi, who was standing next to her, clearly recognized the fruit's effects and whispered:

"It is said that this fruit contains a large amount of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and there are many that are a hundred years old. It will greatly help our cultivation."

At this time, some cultivators who had arrived first began climbing the rocks to pick fruit. There were several mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators at the bottom, and later on, there were even two Qi Refining Perfection cultivators.

The spiritual fruit waits for no one. Cui Ying and Lei Yi exchanged a glance, then separated and began to leap upwards from opposite ends of the waterfall.

Cui Ying stepped on white clouds, and with a single hand gesture, two Jade Serpent Fruits fell into her palm, which she then put into her storage bag.

The Jade Serpent Fruit is a high-grade spiritual fruit, and its age is determined by the amount of color on its skin.

If it is only pure white, it is only ten years old; if it is a quarter green, it is twenty years old; if it is half green, it is fifty years old; and if it is completely green, it is at least a hundred years old, and its medicinal effect is greatly enhanced.

The base of the vines were planted with medicinal herbs that were ten or twenty years old. Cui Ying picked some to take back to her family, then leaped straight up to the top of the waterfall.

Moreover, her cultivation level was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and once she joined the fruit-gathering team, the difference between her and the others became apparent.

Wherever she went, almost no one dared to compete with her; she picked all the best pieces herself. Her speed was so great that even Lei Yi on the other side of the waterfall was outpaced.

While Cui Ying was enjoying the limelight, the less capable rogue cultivators below were filled with anger, complaining that this woman was so domineering, taking away so many spiritual fruits in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, these people had enough self-awareness to not read it aloud.

Otherwise, if Cui Ying found out, she would surely laugh at these people for being petty. This matter involves an opportunity, how could she not be domineering? If you want it, just come and take it.

In preparation for this trip to the secret realm, Cui Ying specially hung an empty storage bag on her waist to store the spiritual items she obtained.

She flew straight up higher, then suddenly stopped and parted a layer of overlapping vines, revealing a bright blue light.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a string of century-old Jade Serpent Fruits, entirely emerald green! This single string contained as many as six or seven fruits, and its value was as high as tens of thousands of spirit stones!

There were already many cultivators watching Cui Ying, and this action was noticed by her. Immediately, some of them couldn't hold back and shouted:

"It's a hundred-year-old Jade Serpent Fruit! And it's in her hands!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Ying frowned slightly, then quickly plucked the vine. The cloud beneath her feet trembled, and she was about to fly away from the waterfall.

Unexpectedly, two figures suddenly sprang up from the vines not far away, their hands flashing with spiritual light, intending to take her life directly.

Judging from the fluctuations in energy, they were the two cultivators who had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Cui Ying first signaled to Ta Xue not to act rashly, then took out the Yao Guang Sword and faced the white-browed cultivator on the left.

The Yao Guang Sword flashed with a cold light, and then a sword beam several meters long shot out, carrying a blinding cold light that directly shattered the protective spiritual light in front of the person.

However, Cui Ying showed little joy, after all, she was fighting two against one.

Who knows what cards the other side has up their sleeve? We should act quickly and eliminate one person first.

The white-browed cultivator hadn't expected Cui Ying to be so strong. After narrowly avoiding the oncoming sword energy, his greed subsided considerably.

Just as he was about to make another move, a murderous glint flashed in Cui Ying's eyes, clearly indicating that she was determined not to give him a chance to strike.

She quickly formed hand seals, and another incomparably cold sword aura shot out.

The white-browed male cultivator's pupils contracted slightly. He couldn't bother to use any more magic and hurriedly summoned a small shield to defend himself.

"To think I've run into a sword cultivator!"

As he channeled his magic into the small shield, he cursed under his breath and retreated rapidly.

Sword cultivators are an anomaly among cultivators, focusing on the path of killing. In terms of the ability to kill enemies, they are absolutely invincible among those of the same level!

At the Qi Refining stage, the difference is not very noticeable. However, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, a swordsman who can achieve perfect harmony between body and sword can easily take on ten opponents.

Although the cultivator was retreating, the sinister and ruthless look in his eyes remained undiminished.

He thought to himself, "If you are truly a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator or of the same level as him, I would indeed be somewhat afraid of you!"

But your cultivation is not as good as mine, so what gives you the confidence to fight two Qi Refining Perfection cultivators at the same time?
